What be the effects and indeuors of wicked Angels?

What man is able to recken them all? He is the enemie of God, of Christ and of men: and therefore doth take vnto himselfe the glorie of God, whether it be by himselfea 1.1, or whether it be by his instru∣ments, to wit, Antichrist, and such men as challenge to themselues the honor of Godb 1.2.

He is the author of sinne: for it sprang from him, and he doth dai∣ly stirre vs vp to sinne, that he might plunge vs with himselfe into the gulfe of eternall deathc 1.3: he worketh effectually in the wickedd 1.4: he doth corrupt the word of Gode 1.5: he soweth tares in the Lords fieldf 1.6: he raiseth vp heresies: he prouoketh men to sundrie kinds of idolatrie: he raiseth persecutions against the godly.

In commonweales, he troubleth all with tumults and warres. In the familie and priuatly he laboureth to trouble, annoy, and de∣stroy particular men by sundrie meanes, he vrgeth men to commit mischiefs and hainous sinnes.

He studieth as much as he can to hurt mens bodies: he doth in∣fect the elements, and troubleth them for mans ruine: and especially in this age, wherin he knoweth the generall iudgement to approch, he doth shew his rage more cruelly then euer before, by lies and murthers, and confoundeth heauen and earth together.
